Electrons are negatively charged. acids are positively charged. when an acid in contact with a metal, the acid steals free electrons away. That loosens the bonds holding metal atoms in place, so the metal dissolves.

<h2>Function of The Cell Membrane</h2>

Explanation:

There are a few unique kinds of this simple development of particles. It could be as basic as atoms moving uninhibitedly, for example, assimilation or dispersion.
Proteins are utilized to help move atoms all the more rapidly. It is a procedure called encouraged dispersion.
It could be as straightforward as acquiring a glucose particle. Since the cell film won't permit glucose to cross by dispersion.
The cells are in a zone where there is a huge focus contrast. For instance, oxygen particle focuses could be exceptionally high outside of the cell and extremely low inside.
Those oxygen particles are little to such an extent that they can cross the lipid bilayer and enter the cell.
This is a water explicit procedure. For the most part, cells are in a domain where there is one convergence of particles outside and one inside.
Since focuses like to be the equivalent, the cell can siphon particles in an out to remain alive. Assimilation is the development of water over the layer
